Astronomy For Beginners is a friendly and accessible guide to our universe, our galaxy, our solar system and the planet we call home. Each year as we cruise through space on this tiny blue-green wonder, a number of amazing and remarkable events occur. For example, like clockwork, we’ll run head-on into asteroid and cometary debris that spreads shooting stars across our skies. On occasion, we’ll get to watch the disk of the Moon passing the Sun, casting its shadow on the face of the Earth, and sometimes we’ll get to watch our own shadow as it glides across the face of the Moon. The Sun’s path will constantly change across the daytime sky, as will the stars and constellations at night. During this time, we’ll also get to watch the other majestic planets in our solar system wander the skies, as they too circle the Sun in this elaborate celestial dance. Astronomy For Beginners will explain this elaborate celestial dance – the patterns of the heavens, the equinoxes and the solstices, the major meteor showers, and the solar and lunar eclipses. In addition, Astronomy For Beginners will also take you on a guided tour of the solar system and beyond. We’ll discover how the way we measure time itself is intimately related to celestial phenomena, and we’ll furthermore explore our historical and continuing mission to understand our place in this marvelous universe in which we find ourselves. Oh yeah, one more thing: Astronomy For Beginners will not only help you become an expert in space and time – but it also promises to be a pretty fun ride!

Faith is a lifetime journey through different seasons, not a one-time commitment. Typically, we experience summery days of joy and success, together with autumnal or wintery experiences of fear, disappointment and grief. In this candid look at Elijah, a man who not only had great faith, but also had to trust God through times of loneliness, misunderstanding, stunning accomplishment and heart-stopping fear, we can glean help for our own life journeys. Scripture makes it clear - Elijah was a man of God, but he was no angel, but a human, just like us. The man who ended up holed up in a cave of depression also was granted a leading part in the transfiguration of Jesus. He glimpsed both despair and glory. In tracing his travels, there's much for us to learn.

What is Gods will for my life? This is the age-old question that people long to answer. Join Dr. Jeff Crawford as he takes you into the life of the prophet Jonah to answer this question for your life today. On A Ship To Tarshish will open the text of the Bible and give you a very simple tool that you can use at any and all times. This tool will help you find your position in Gods plan for your life and get you back on track if you have strayed. Speaking with the background of a scholar and the experience of a pastor, Dr. Crawford explains in chapter 1, I want to contend in these pages that finding the will of God isnt really that hard or mysterious at all. In fact, being square in the middle of Plan A is a very easy and natural thing to do. It is so easy that most people just miss it.
Could it be that the religious institutions got it wrong? Could it be that the answers are written in the Bible yet have been overlooked or dismissed for various reasons? What did Jesus mean when he said, "It is finished"? Why did Jesus come in the first century, and what did he actually accomplish? Paul said in Colossians 1:26 that the mystery had been hidden for ages but now has been revealed. What is that mystery that was revealed in the first century? Could it be that Paul was explaining the universal reconciliation of all mankind, or is that just too unbelievable? Paul said just six verses earlier in Colossians 1:20 that God (through Jesus) reconciled all things in heaven and earth to himself by making peace at the cross. In this book, you will read a detailed explanation of God's plan of reconciliation from the full preterist perspective as described in the Bible. This is a good news message that will take you on an emotional roller coaster, but will leave you in a place of great comfort and peace, as you realize God's love is more powerful than any mistake you ever made. Get ready to discover the love of God and his plan of redemption like you have never heard before while also learning to

Gideon may seem like an unlikely hero but to God he was an ideal candidate for ministry. Gideon and his crew of three hundred men with trumpets and clay pots appear surprising victors against the massive Midianite army; however for God they were another opportunity to showcase his strength and power. God takes weak people, meagre resources and unpromising strategies and turns them into something wonderful. From his first face-to-face encounter with the Angel of the Lord to his later struggles with the trappings of success, Gideon challenges us to take our stand for God, to trust his plans, to believe in his promises and to keep our focus. Written with humour and passion, this is an immensely readable and helpful book that will delight those who have discovered the joys of Jeff Lucas' writings before, as well as those who come to it fresh.
